Elena's Best The Vampire Diaries Humanity-Free Moments So Far!

Elena (Nina Dobrev) has been the heart of The Vampire Diaries since it premiered four and half seasons ago. The immortal love triangle she’s been involved in since day one has been compelling (pun totally intended), and we’ve loved watching all the supernatural goings on in Mystic Falls and beyond. But it’s been compassionate, thoughtful, moral, and kind Elena Gilbert whose provided the show the emotional center it needed to keep from spinning off into total and utter blood-sucking insanity.

Even when season four introduced us to the new, undead version of Elena, she was still the same girl we’d met years early — albeit it with a new set of ethical and romantic conundrums to sort through. Gone were the days of her worries being strictly Damon (Ian Somerhalder) or Stefan (Paul Wesley) related. The turning of Elena Gilbert meant adding problems like “oh man, it is so awesome to drink blood from the sexy college co-eds at this frat party” and “it sucks that I can drink human blood without losing

The Vampire Diaries Speculation: What Will Elijah Do With the Cure?

Among the many surprises to come at us courtesy of last week’s The Vampire Diaries “American Gothic” episode was the return of Elijah Mikaelson (Daniel Gillies). This well-dressed Original appeared to have taken a page from Justin Timberlake’s book, donning suit and tie for a prearranged tete-a-tete. He arrived at the local town gazebo for a meeting with Katherine Pierce (Nina Dobrev), his new paramour. But it wasn’t the sassiest doppelganger on the planet there to greet him.

In spite of stealing her stylish supernatural relation’s footwear, there was no fooling Elijah. When he noticed Katherine’s missing daylight protection, he knew the truth. He hadn’t just kissed Katherine — he had kissed Elena (Nina Dobrev).

The glimpse into Elijah’s love life was fun and it was also awesome to see him and

The Originals Description: Big Trouble in The Big Easy

Ready to take a trip to New Orleans?

On April 25, The Vampire Diaries will air "The Originals," an episode meant to serve as a backdoor pilot for, well... The Originals.

How will Julie Plec and company get the ball rolling for this potential spinoff? What will take Klaus to The Big Easy and why might he permanently make residence there?





The CW has released the official synopsis for this exciting episode, which will also include Daniel Gillies as Elijah and Phoebe Tonkin as Hayley.

Read through it now and then sound off in our Vampire Diaries forum: Are you excited for The Originals?

‘Vampire Diaries’ Scoop: Klaus Makes Enemies On ‘Originals’ Backdoor Pilot

Who’s out to get Klaus? What’s Damon and Stefan’s ‘plan’ for Elena? All will soon be revealed!

Mark your calendars: We’re officially three weeks away from the episode of The Vampire Diaries that also serves as the backdoor pilot for The Originals, the purposed spin-off that follows Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and his siblings to New Orleans’ French Quarter. The CW just released the official description for the episode, revealing information about the new characters we’ll meet down south.

Let’s start with Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), a “charismatic vampire” who also happens to be Klaus’ former protégé. We learned a little bit about Marcel when Charles was first cast in the role, but now we know that he has “total control over the human and supernatural inhabitants of New Orleans.”

So, basically, the protégé has become the master.

But why does Klaus go there in the first place? According to the episode’s description, Klaus receives a “mysterious tip that a plot is brewing against him in New Orleans … [so he] makes a trip to the town he and his family helped build.”

 ‘The Vampire Diaries’ interview round-up: Julie Plec, Joseph Morgan on Klaus’ future, and more

It seems that Joseph Morgan and Julie Plec just can’t get enough talk about The Originals, as both have recently given interviews discussing all things Klaus, The Originals pilot, and the character’s future on The Vampire Diaries.

All About Klaus

In a recent interview with Fearnet.com, Joseph Morgan discusses all things Klaus and gives a few tidbits that may be news to fans. When asked about the potential of the budding romance between Klaus and Caroline, he had this to say about his homicidal alter-ego, “Look, he felt he was dying and called Caroline. Not his sister. Not his brother. That says a lot about where he is in terms of his feelings towards her.” He goes on to say that, “Klaus wants to believe he is, that he is someone capable of love. We’ll see how it plays out, but he’s definitely on board with the idea of being with her.”

He also commented on where he would like to see The Originals take his character: “It would be nice if The Originals go to series, if it’s ultimately the story of Klaus’ redemption. I would like to think it is possible for him, but it’s going to take a little work.”

But do not fret Klaus (and Carolaus) fans, Joseph Morgan’s time may not be up on The Vampire Diaries just yet. It seems fairly certain that we will see Klaus after The Originals backdoor pilot (4×20) airs in a few weeks, as you can read in this bit from Examiner.com, “Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah will be heading to New Orleans in Episode 20 this season for The Originals spin-off episode… but that doesn’t mean they’re just going to stay in NoLa, killing time and waiting for the fall TV season. We can tell you that Episode 20 isn’t the last we’ll see of Klaus this season on The Vampire Diaries.”

Matt’s mom was a what?!

The Vampire Diaries’ Originals Spin-Off: Klaus’s New Love Interest?

In The Vampire Diaries spin-off, The Originals, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) heads for New Orleans, but does that mean he’s leaving his affection for Caroline (Candice Accola) behind, as well?

Not exactly, executive producer Julie Plec tells Entertainment Weekly, but a human may catch his eye. Cami (Leah Pipes) a psychology student, works as a bartender at Rousseau's, New Orleans’s answer to the Mystic Grill.

''She refuses to believe in evil,'' explains

The Vampire Diaries Spoilers: Will Klaus Return After the Originals Pilot?

The Originals — The Vampire Diaries spin-off that’s set to air on The CW April 25 — promises lots of Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Elijah (Daniel Gillies), and Rebekah (Claire Holt). But will we ever seen the siblings back on TVD?

Zap2It has a spoiler that bodes well for Klaus fans. According to the site, the Original hybrid will indeed make his way back to Mystic Falls after visiting New Orleans.

There aren’t many details, but we wonder if he’ll come back to settle things with Caroline (Candice Accola). He and the vampire left things off at “just friends,” but she

Spoilers! Is Katherine the one dancing with Stefan in the next TVD episode?

After watching the last episode of The Vampire Diaries “American Gothic” and the promo for the next episode “Pictures of you” you must notice the fact that while dancing with Stefan, Elena is wearing a bracelet similar to the bracelet Katherine wears.






We can hear Bonnie in the promo saying “Elena’s Gone” and there are rumors Katherine will show up in the prom episode. Julie Plec stated in various interviews that Elena will not use sex to manipulate like Katherine does. From what we can see in the promo – if that really is Elena dancing and flirting with Stefan than she has become same as Katherine…or that is actually Katherine in the promo!

What do you think? Is Katherine trespassing the prom and acting as she is Elena? Why would she do that after giving the cure to Elijah? Does she have a back up plan? Or maybe the bracelets are just a coincidence and Elena is just playing the brothers in a “Katherine Pierce” way?

What Job Should Vampire Diaries’ Rebekah Do If She Becomes Human?

Rebekah (Claire Holt) came thisclose to getting the cure on Season 4, Episode 18 of The Vampire Diaries, “American Gothic”. Even though she got robbed again (Katherine! fist shake!) she doesn’t seem to be wavering at all in her dedication to becoming human again. We get it! She wants a normal life, she wants to grow old, she wants to hear the pitter-patter of little mini-Rebekah feet.


That’s all well and good, but we can’t stop thinking about the logistics of all this. How do you explain why mommy knows so much about the Black Plague, or why none of your uncles are ever, ever, ever allowed to visit? But most importantly, what is Rebekah going to do? She’ll be cut off from the compulsion, which we can only assume is the source of all vampires’ inexplicable and impressive wealth. Maybe Rebekah has invested wisely, but just in case, we’ve put together a list of career options we think she should look into if and when she becomes human. Good luck!

Here are some suggestions...



Rebekah Could Whip People Into Shape as a Personal Trainer
We imagine this OV is going to be hurting a little after losing that innate physical fitness that all immortals are gifted. She’ll never be able to achieve vamp-level strength again, of course, but a job that keeps her in tip-top shape would keep her feeling good and prepared for more ass-kicking.






Rebekah Would Do an Amazing Job as a Party Planner
She’s hyper-focused, she has experience with everything from formal balls to ‘80s theme dances, and she’s the only person in Mystic Falls who has ever out-planned Caroline (Candice Accola). That’s saying something.






Rebekah Could Try Being a Kindergarten Teacher
Kids are a pretty big part of why Rebs wants to regain her “alive” status, so maybe she should get a little real world experience with them. Though if she wants to go this route, we recommend a little pre-cure compelling to get some references in order.






Rebekah Would Make a Great Talent Agent
She’s been in the “ruthless wheeler-dealer” category for centuries now, so we think Rebekah could give the toughest agents out there a run for their money. Any actor worth their salt would want someone like Rebekah on their side if they had a contract to be negotiated. We just really, really wouldn’t want to be her assistant.






Rebekah Could Apply to Be a Waitress at the Grill
Matt (Zach Roerig) would probably get her the hook-up at Mystic Grill, right? He’d probably be so excited to have another human in town that he’d give her anything she wanted, compulsion-free!







Rebekah Could Use Her Skills to Be a PR Exec
Can’t you just see Rebekah wielding a clipboard, making guest lists and throwing people to the back of a velvet-roped line? We can. She may have lost her superhuman strength, but her bitch face is going to be in fine working order.

The Vampire Diaries 4x20 The Originals - Promotional Photos First Look [VIDEO]

How to Get Elena’s Pink Highlights

We have all grown accustomed to Elena’s sleek, pin straight, brown hair throughout the four seasons of The Vampire Diaries. However, the great team over at TVD decided it is time for Elena to change her look. At least for a little while.

In the March 21st episode of TVD, Elena sports a hot pink streak in her new, wavy hair. Her hair is the complete opposite of her typical straight hair. Now, Elena has a side part accentuated with a pink streak and soft, pretty curls.

If you want to achieve this look, it’s really easy. Maybe you don’t have the brown hair that Nina Dobrev has, but don’t worry. Nina’s hair was completely transformed for this episode with the help of simple brown highlights and the pink streak.

For the pink streak, we recommend starting off by dying a hair extension magenta rather than jumping straight into a hair dye. This way if the streak looks terrible in your hair or you feel like trying a different look from time to time, you can simply remove the extension instead another dye job that could damage your hair.

If you’re feeling bold and want to completely imitate Elena’s look, start by creating lighter brown highlights in desired spots of your hair. Once finished, pick a strip of hair and dye it the your favorite perfect hue of pink. Elena may only have one streak of pink in her hair, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go beyond that. Go crazy adding streaks of pink all over. Your hair is your cheapest accessory and experimenting with it can be fun and can totally change your look. Just remember to always give your hair the proper care. For the color treatment, be sure to use color specific shampoo and conditioner.

Another trend in hair color is hair chalking. The technique is fairly simple. Using your favorite color of chalk or pastel, simply color small sections of your hair and brush the dust out. The Beauty Department shows you the best tips for adding highlights with chalk or pastels.

The Vampire Diaries Spin-Off: Daniel Gillies Wants the Originals To...

One thousand years is a long time, and the Originals lived through it all. Some of them were locked in coffins for portions of it, but still. The Vampire Diaries spin-off has lots of potential, which excites one family member.

Daniel Gillies (Elijah) tells Entertainment Tonight that he likes that he and his vampire siblings — Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Rebekah (Claire Holt) — can traipse through time like Carmen Sandiego.

“The advantage the show carries is that, because Klaus, Rebekah and Elijah have been alive for a millennium, we can bounce all over time,” says Daniel.

And he has some ideas of eras when he’d love to see the Originals. “Because they're invulnerable, it makes everything kind of fun — if people are falling in the streets because of the Bubonic Plague, it's

How will The Originals affect The Vampire Diaries?

It’s getting closer and closer to April 25th, when The Vampire Diaries backdoor pilot for The Originals airs on the CW. So what does The Originals spin-off mean for our favorite show The Vampire Diaries?

The main effect of The Originals spin-off is that we’ll have two fantastic shows and two amazing sets of vampires to drool over each week, and for the characters to make cross-over appearances on! Currently Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Rebekah (Claire Holt), Elijah (Daniel Gillies), and Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin), share just the one hour of The Vampire Diaries with Stefan (Paul Wesley), Damon (Ian Somerhalder), and Elena (Nina Dobrev).

Once The Originals graces our TVs we’ll have a two-hour vampire feast every week, and so will they!!! And we’ll no doubt see some amazing scenes of New Orleans, too. With two hours of vampire madness and mayhem it will be like a movie each week, but with bathroom breaks! Of course, this is assuming that The Originals will  air right after The Vampire Diaries!

Since The Originals pilot will be an episode of The Vampire Diaries, it will be like an hour-long sneak peek of what the series will be like when The CW network adds it to their fall lineup for next season!

‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 4 spoilers: Nina Dobrev, Claire Holt square off

If there were two characters on “The Vampire Diaries” that we were hoping would have some interaction someday, it was Nina Dobrev’s Katherine (nope, not Elena!) and Claire Holt’s Rebekah. They are two of the oldest female vampires we’ve met, and both of them have a very noticeable mean streak. While Katherine has always been a bit of a ruthless survivalist, Rebekah is in some ways a little more complex: while she puts on airs of acting rather tough and difficult to deal with, you have this constant feeling under the surface that more than anything, all she wants is to be loved.

Ultimately, you really get a major sense of that in the sneak peek below (which was first posted by TVLine), as Rebekah is really set off after Katherine questions why exactly she wants the vampire cure so badly. Does she really want to be mortal, or does she just want to get a chance to start over with her life. The only thing more interesting than this accusation is the idea that Katherine has glamoured a whole town into liking her, just so that she does suddenly have a place in the world.


Just when things are starting to get violent between these two, the reinforcements stop by top put a stop to the madness. Of course, we’re talking here specifically about none other than the Salvatore brothers, who have managed to hunt them down despite Elena screwing them over and leaving Damon stranded specifically in New York last week. As Katherine suggestions with her “there goes the neighborhood” line, things are about to get very interesting.

What do you think about the idea of watching these two “Vampire Diaries” characters battle it out?

Ian Somerhalder Says Paul Wesley Will Never Talk to Him Again After...

If you watched The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 17, “Because the Night,” you saw Ian Somerhalder in guyliner when his character, Damon Salvatore, flashed back to the 1970s.
Unfortunately, Damon’s brother, Stefan, was nowhere to be seen in that decade. But Entertainment Weekly had Ian Somerhalder imagine what the younger Salvatore would’ve looked like. Using a cardboard cutout of Paul Wesley, Ian decked his on-screen sibling out in a ‘fro, moustache, Forever 21 leather jacket, and teal bell bottoms. He also added some hot pink padding to a certain area to make the effect more, ahem, 3-D.

“Paul’s a pretty macho guy,” Ian said of his co-star. “I think we should bring out more of his feminine side.” This included putting a necklace and sparkly purple butterfly on the cutout.

We have to say, Paul still looks pretty good, even with the creepy ‘stach. But Ian was worried. “Paul is probably never gonna talk to me again,” the actor predicted as he placed a purple hat on top of the wig.

Don’t underestimate the Polish hottie’s sense of humor, Ian! Paul tweeted out the video (which you can watch below), writing, “good one.”

Maybe one day Paul will get to return the favor and dress up Ian in ‘80s garb.

The Vampire Diaries Speculation: Is Caroline Helping or Hurting Klaus?

Our jaws dropped when we saw the sneak peek photos for The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 18, “American Gothic.” Not only was Elijah (Daniel Gillies) looking utterly dapper in his suit, Caroline (Candice Accola) was alone with a shirtless Klaus (Joseph Morgan).
We have no idea what’s going on, but we’re going to do some analysis of each photo and try to figure it out.
Photo 1: Caroline and the gardening too.

The last time we saw Klaus, he was getting the indestructible white oak stake broken off in his back by Silas/Shane (David Alpay). The tip was likely still lodged in there, so perhaps Caroline is being helpful by removing it?


Photo 2: Caroline looks concerned.





Vampire Barbie certainly seems worried about the guy she’s been chiding for killing his own hybrids. Maybe her own recent murder spree has given her a change of heart?


Photo 3: Caroline touches Klaus’s face.




So Caroline is clearly colluding with Klaus, and they get physically closer. Is this a prelude to a kiss?

The Originals Joseph Morgan talks about Revelation short

Joseph Morgan, Klaus Mikaelson on The Vampire Diaries and the upcoming The Originals, was interviewed recently on CBS in Atlanta about his 12-minute short film “Revelation” which debuted at The Atlanta Film Festival.



Joseph Morgan is a fan of horror, fantasy, Stephen King, and especially “The Walking Dead“!  His inspiration for writing was sparked when he was 15 and discovered the films of Quentin Tarantino. This  inspired him to write his first screenplay.



After graduating from the Central School of Speech and Drama in London, he continued to write and produce as his acting career found its way to “The Vampire Diaries” and now the lead in “The Originals.” “Revelation” is his directorial debut, which is a dark post-apocalyptic story of a woman who loses her grip on reality. Persia White, who was also on “The Vampire Diaries” stars in the short and helped out with writing and editing, but the directoring was all Joseph Morgan!

Vampire Diaries Season 4: Will Elena Ever Revert to Her Old Self?

A couple of game-changing things went on before The Vampire Diaries went on hiatus, not least of which was Elena finally flipping the switch and going full-on vamp. Now we’ve seen the fallout from that decision, and know that an Elena without feelings isn’t one you’d want around puppies and children. She’s really taken to this whole ‘evil undead monster’ shtick, and has even given Damon a run for his money in selfish and reckless behaviour.

But is this the end of old, whiny, moral Elena – the girl who would do anything for her friends but who couldn’t make a decision to save her life? I have to admit, it’s lovely to have a break from that girl, who was increasingly sucking the fun out of the show with her various crippling traumas, and have her replaced with this fun-loving carefree teenager we’re enjoying now. My hat comes off for Nina Dobrev, who has now made me believe in three completely separate characters, often at the same time.

But isn’t that part of the problem? We already have an evil Elena – Katherine. With the original object of the Salvatores’ affections hanging around in the background threatening a return, is there enough room for both girls to do their thing? It was always a joy to see Dobrev sweep around the place in her leather simply because Katherine was so vastly opposed to what Elena represented. Now that they’re on equal footing, if not quite the same person, how can we expect the two to react to each other?

This extends right down to their love lives, since Damon and Stefan’s attraction to Elena seemed to at least partially be about how different the two girls were. They loved Katherine but hated her repeated betrayals and evil nature so – particularly for Stefan – Elena was a second chance for them to create the perfect woman. She was put on a pedestal and, when she was turned into a vampire, Stefan was desperate to ‘save her’. He didn’t want an undead Elena, and so made her into a problem for him to fix.

Thus was born the ‘hunt for the cure’ storyline,

The Vampire Diaries: What Would Damon Do If He Took the Cure?

If there’s one vampire on all of The Vampire Diaries who would want to destroy the cure if he got his hands on it, it’s Damon (Ian Somerhalder). He’s made it perfectly clear he wants nothing to do with it and thinks all his friends are better off with their fangs. But what if, by some fluke, Mr. Salvatore actually ended up taking it?

That very query was posed to Ian Somerhalder by Entertainment Weekly. Surprisingly, he didn’t think Damon would be too upset. Rather, Ian thinks that after the initial shock wore off, Damon would get over it pretty quickly.

According to Ian, Damon would say, “‘Well, I’ve lived quite a while, I’m gonna grow old naturally and die. I could take the Salvatore fortune and donate half

Wait, this isn’t Mystic Falls!

Someone’s still a bit bitter over the whole neck-snapping thing.

Karma for all the necks he’s snapped? Just sayin’. Now he knows howAlaric (Matt Davis) felt.

A Katherine/Elena showdown? We’re the winners.

The Vampire Diaries Speculation: Where is Katherine?

After her fatal cure-snatch and run out on lonely island, The Vampire Diaries villain Katherine (Nina Dobrev) has hit the road and hasn’t been heard from since. She’s on the lam, she’s got the cure, and everyone wants a piece of her. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Rebekah (Claire Holt) are trying to track her down, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) is on the prowl, and no one has found her yet: Where is Katherine?

 There’s a chance she’s coming after Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin). As Klaus told the wolf, “You were stupid enough to make a deal with Katerina Petrova to help her find the cure, now you’re a loose end.” Hayley and Katherine had been working together in New Orleans, so she could be headed that way, via a truck stop in the boonies, to try and wrap up that particular loose end. Since Klaus is one of the few people who is Katherine’s equal in the evil department, he’s probably got a decent idea how she works.

(And obviously by “working” we mean “manipulating and taking advantage of,” and by “wrap up” we mean “murder, probably in a horrible fashion.”)

Then again, Katherine likely wants to cram that cure down Klaus’s

‘Vampire Diaries’: Damon & Elena’s Search For Katherine Ends In Tragedy

Plus, Silas calls on Bonnie for his third massacre! Is there no stopping him?
Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) took a bite out of the Big Apple on the March 21 episode of The Vampire Diaries, indulging in all the usual tourist activities: feeding on innocent New Yorkers, hunting down the cure for vampirism, and — for whatever reason — getting tacky pink highlights. Like, really tacky. But when they weren’t painting the town red, literally, Damon was regaling his girlfriend with tales from his days in 1970s New York — including his secret fling with Lexi (Arielle Kebbel)! I know, I was surprised too.

My surprise lessened, however, when we learned Damon was only faking his feelings for Lexi in order to get her off his back. Stefan (Paul Wesley) had sent her to NYC to fix Damon, which obviously didn’t sit too well with him. Suddenly, I totally understand why Damon eventually killed her.

Damon and Elena’s big-city trip took a delightfully twisted turn when Rebekah

The Vampire Diaries Synopsis For Season 4, Episode 18: “American Gothic”

A small town in Pennsylvania? That’s the last place we’d think to look for Katherine (Nina Dobrev), but according to The Vampire Diaries synopsis for Season 4, Episode 18, “American Gothic,” that just might be where the fanged fatale is hiding out.

The last time we saw Kat, she was absconding with the single dose of the cure. Now Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Rebekah (Claire Holt) are hot on her trail — hence the trip to the Keystone State. Guess who else is a fan of Quakers, chocolate, and liberty? Elijah (Daniel Gillies)!

Now that we’re done doing our happy dance, we’ll tell you that the Original also just so happens to be in Pennsylvania. Intrigue! Maybe he and Katherine are holed up in the same bed and breakfast?

The Vampire Diaries: What If Season 4 Was All a Dream in Elena's Mind?

While Season 4 of Vampire Diaries has had some great moments with Elena in her new vampire form (the "Rager" kegstand pops immediately to mind), this storyline has been filled with a lot of complications. Most especially with the sire bonding of Damon and Elena, and everyone trying to cure Elena of her vampirism. But what if all this losing Jeremy and her being compelled to be with Damon instead of Stefan was all really just a fantasy that Elena had concocted? What if Season 4 was all a dream and we found out that Elena was really in a coma since the end of last season? Hey, it worked all those years ago on Dallas. And we're pretty sure that most of the people who love this show were not around when that big twist happened.


How would it work exactly? Well, we've got some thoughts.
First, Stefan ignored Elena's request to save Matt first, and instead rescued her and Matt died. It breaks our heart as he's one of the few non-supernatural people left in town and just plain old adorable, but it's not like he gets a ton to do on this show. They'd have to find another way to stop Alaric, but it would have been fitting. And then this whole dream could've just been Elena's way of trying to deal with the loss of Matt, by pretending it didn't happen.

Or, Elena and Matt both lived,

Elena (Nina Dobrev) is sure that Damon (Ian Somerhalder) prefers her without her humanity. “Be honest; you like me better like this,” she said to him in the last episode. But even if that’s true, he might change his mind in The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 17, “Because the Night.”

In an interview with TV Guide, Ian Somerhalder said of Elena, “She kicks his ass. He gets another side — Damon gets another side of Elena that really solidifies that he’s not a fan of her current state.”

Everybody on The Vampire Diaries is excited about the new The Originals spin-off. Paul Wesley, who plays Stefan Salvatore, recently confided that The Originals will also mean big things for The Vampire Diaires, too.

Quote from Wetpaint Entertainment

The idea of these Originals leaving will create a reset button, and maybe we can get back to the roots of The Vampire Diaries and sort of just basic human emotions, as opposed to all of these mythological events that have been unfolding.

But Ian Somerhalder, who plays Damon Salvatore, was sorry he didn’t get a chance to film in New Orleans, too, since it’s his hometown.

The Vampire Diaries Spoilers For Season 4, Episode 17: Damon’s Bloody Again

Ian Somerhalder must be pretty used to blood by now, because Damon Salvatore is always drenched in the stuff on The Vampire Diaries.

Case in point: A lucky fan tweeted this photo of the hemoglobin-covered hottie after shaking his hand on set. The cast was filming Season 4, Episode 17, "Because the Night" at Georgia State University, but it’s not clear exactly what happened to the elder Salvatore (or if his fangs happened to someone else).

Ian has been saying the newly emotionless Elena (Nina Dobrev) keeps beating up Damon. “If someone’s going to kick your ass,” he tells E! Online, “it might as well be Nina Dobrev.”

Maybe she’s to blame for all that blood?

The Vampire Diaries Spoilers: Elena Makes Out With...

Well, this is an interesting little Vampire Diaries spoiler from TVLine:

“Elena will do just about anything to find the cure, and that includes going to first base with [spoiler].”

First of all, Elena (Nina Dobrev) still wants the cure? That’s a surprise. We thought she was quite satisfied living in no-emotions land, feeding on cheerleaders and being bitchy to her friends.

Second of all, whom could she be kissing that is just too juicy to tell? She’s clearly making out with Damon (Ian Somerhalder) in the promo for Season 4, Episode 17, “Because the Night,” so that’s no surprise. Rebekah (Claire Holt) also shows up in NYC, so maybe there’s a little girl-on-girl action in Elena’s future.

However,

The Vampire Diaries Spoiler: Katherine and Klaus?

In today’s The Vampire Diaries spoiler news, we have discovered that an upcoming episode will not only feature Joseph Morgan’s character, Klaus, getting a love scene *gush* but that Nina Dobrev’s character, Katherine, will not be on the receiving end of that interaction. Instead, Katherine will be doing a little romancing of her own, since stealing the the cure from Elena, with Daniel Gillies’ character, Elijah. Apparently, the two will meet up and their formerly magnetic attraction will automatically rekindle itself. Sparks should fly! As we remember from The Vampire Diaries history, the two Originals brothers were both smitten with the mortal version of Katherine (or Lady Kat) back in 1491. I personally want to see Elijah use some of his old world charm and antiquated language on that mean, nasty lady vampire. Maybe she’ll soften up for a change….but probably not. I bet she will have something good to write about in her own The Vampire Diaries.

The Vampire Diaries’ Poll: Klaus and Hayley’s Sex Scene — Hot or Not?

It wouldn’t be The Vampire Diaries without some intraspecies hookups every now and again.

Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) have never been fans of each other. After all, she’s in love with Tyler (Michael Trevino), and the Original wants that particular hybrid dead. Klaus has sworn to hunt Ty to the ends of the earth, hence why Caroline (Candice Accola) won’t give him the time of day.

But Klaus and Hayley went from trading snipes to stripping down in no time flat. In Season 4, Episode 16, “Bring It On,” she was critiquing his art, while he was over-serving her wine.

When he told her she was free to go, Hayley said she could be persuaded to stay. When Klaus asked which it would be, she replied, “You like to be in

'The Vampire Diaries' Recap: What Happened to the Lovable Elena?

There was no redeeming quality in this Elena.

Bye Sire Bond

If one good thing came from this situation, it was the extinguishing of the sire bond between Damon and Elena. The problem though is that Damon used that bond to turn off her humanity and if he no longer can use it, will she ever find her humanity again?

It would be a shame for Elena to stay in this foreign state forever. With the cure still out there, perhaps that will be the only way to save the Elena that her friends and family loved. Perhaps over time, Elena will find her way back though.

Stefan was the ripper, until he wasn't any more. So, anything is possible. Next, we get to see Damon and Elena hit it up in New York City. A little fun, some action, and could we possibly see a reigniting of her love for him?

The Werewolf Quandary

Hayley was working with Katherine, but she's gone missing now. So, will Hayley work with Klaus? Their contrary relationships would make it an unlikely alliance, but at the same time they are willing to play each other.

If Hayley gets close to Klaus,

The Vampire Diaries Spoilers: Stefan and Rebekah?

The Vampire Diaries will always be known, first and foremost, not just for being about vampires and some werewolves, but also about who’s hooking up with who. Some have been predictable, like Elena and Damon. However, some have not been. This would include Candice Accola’s Caroline and Michael Trevino’s Tyler. Looking at them in the first season, the idea of them being together in The Vampire Diaries for anything besides a good fight scene, would have been ludicrous. A few years later, it does not seem so far-fetched.

Another such unconventional pairing was that of Clare Holt’s Rebekah and Paul Wesley’s Stefan. Their characters recently reignited the passion they once felt for each other over a century ago. This turned out to be a series highlight. One would think that we can expect many such love scenes from them in future installments.

However, the executive producer for The Vampire Diaries, Julie Plec, told Entertainment Weekly that that will not be the case.

“Well, as much as I know people love Stefan and Rebekah — and by all means so do we — her [recent] actions put a little bit of a hold on any future romantic dalliances between them,” says Julie.

This really is not much

Hayley and Klaus: How did we get here?

Hayley was thrown out of the house by her adoptive parents when she transformed into a werewolf for the first time and tore the living room apart. Ever since then she has been looking for her real parents. Can you imagine what that was like? She probably didn’t understand what was happening to her, and then the only family she had known tosses her out.

After being thrown out of her house, she joined other werewolves which eventually led her to Tyler, who had become a hybrid and sired to Klaus. Then she helped Tyler unsire all of Klaus’ hybrids so they could kill Klaus.

When she told Klaus the plan he was
